Unmanned tiltrotor is scheduled to launch in a series in 2018 year

23
The start of mass production of the unmanned convertoplan is scheduled for next year, reports RIA News message of the press service of the holding "Helicopters of Russia".



By the fourth quarter of 2017, the VRT30 tiltrotor will enter the second phase of testing, during which it will be tested in various flight modes, weather conditions and with targeted payload elements. Approximate exit drone mass production is scheduled for the end of 2018, the release says.

An experimental model of a UAV will be presented at the MAKS-2017 aerospace show.

According to the project, the drone will have a takeoff weight of up to 2-s tons. It is noted that "the advantage of the aircraft, made according to the tilt-turn plan, is that their operation does not require the presence of a runway", in addition, "thanks to the turning mechanism of the screws, the tilt-turn can both develop high speed and perform tasks in the hover mode ".

VRT30 is a flying laboratory, on the basis of which a number of systems form a technical basis for creating a similar machine with a take-off weight of up to two tons. In this promising tiltrotor, it is planned to use the latest superconductivity technology developed by SuperOx, which will reduce the weight of the power plant, the units of the electrogenerating system and the power supply systems. Thus, the payload mass will increase, which will make the device commercially attractive for a wide range of customers,

    "... in hover mode" - somehow not in Russian. The number and quality of aftoroff has recently gone wild.

        Me, too, "hanging" warped to horror. I already grabbed a warning for the desire to one afftor lashes to pour. Now, as a splash of emotions, I will wish such a diploma a "friendly pat on the shoulder." I wonder how the admins will respond to a “friendly pat on the shoulder”. Really perceive as a threat of corporal punishment?

    An interesting solution - four motors instead of two on the Osprey and they are located on the fuselage from both ends - such a quadrocopter turned out, only with wings. True Osprey can transmit power from one engine to another with the help of a complex cardan transmission and its wings are shorter in relation to the body. Which circuit is better? Although, what to say about it - all this is just a project

    sorry Madame (author, press service of the association)
    But

    Creating a demonstration sample of CJSC SuperOks engine planned for the year 2018.
    How can I test VRT30 on "different" flight modes ... if there is no remote control?


    Thanks to the new technology, the engine will be deprived of the traditional shortcomings of electric motor systems, and will become the starting point for creating a wide range of drive equipment operating on the principles of superconductivity. Creating a compact electric motor of this type will be the next step in the development of superconducting technologies in Russia.



    Reference: The basis of technology is HTS wires, which, like other superconducting materials, have no electrical resistance. The use of such a wire allows to achieve a very high current density when using cables of relatively small cross section.

    The main distribution was gained by two high-temperature superconductors - YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO, Y123) and Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 + x (BSCCO, Bi-2223). Materials similar to YBCO are also used in which yttrium is replaced by another rare-earth element, for example gadolinium, their common designation is ReBCO.
    Produced by YBCO, and other ReBCOs, have a critical temperature of 90-95 K. Manufactured by BSCCO reach a critical temperature of 108 K.

            There most likely the steering wheels will be, the idea is also not new.
            And the endings have been used for a long time, the wing efficiency is increased.

            Winglets (trailer wings, Whitcomb washers) 100 years in the afternoon, it is understandable


            it all started in 1897 yearwhen English engineer Frederick W. Lanchester patented special end surfaces as a way to control vortex cords. Later in 1910, aviation engineer, an American of Scottish descent William E. Sommervile patented the first really functioning winglets and later installed them on biplanes and monoplanes of his design.

            Winglet in translation from English means “wing”.

            wingtip fence is installed on Boeing-747-400 in 1985 year.


            blended winglet "invented" at 1991 the chief aerodynamics specialist Louis Gratzer (who was, incidentally, the head of the aerodynamic department of Boeing)

                    it is even faster built probably, tk financing is provided (500 t $ per hundred)

                    Aeroxo is a startup developing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of the new generation based on the concept of a convertoplan, invented by co-founder of the company Eldar Razroev, and complexes based on UAVs.
                    Aeroxo was founded in September 2014. The company employs 17 people. Intellectual property is protected by 3 patents and 2 patent applications. The company is located in Moscow (central office), Kazan (R&D division) and New York (representative office).
